Marcus;thank you zen-aku for now we must  prepare for them to return knowing the gremory she'll try to bet our kingdom if she ever loses a rating game.....
Marcus said as he clenched his fists

Marcus: shadow i want one of your soldiers to keep on eye on them and gather as much information as they can
Marcus asked as he looks towards the dark corner of the room

In the corner was shadow the leader of group that gathers information and relays those information to Marcus

Shadow;of course my lord I'll send them right away
Shadow said as he vanished into the darkness

Cronus;he freaks me out sometimes
Cronus said

Argus;for once we agree on something
Argus said

Marcus; now than we must prepare for what's about to come
Marcus said as he and his generals began to come up with plans to deal with the devils

(4 hours later)

After Marcus and his generals discuss ways of dealing with their devil problem Marcus decides to head to his room and try and get over today

When Marcus gets into his room he removes his mask and takes a breather
Marcus;todays was a nightmare
Marcus said as he lays on his bed 

Smaug; I suggest we kill them seeing how they are just weaklings beneath us
Smaug said

Marcus; even if I wanted to  buddy but if we do that then the whole faction will try and destroy this place
Marcus said as someone knocks on his door

Marcus quickly sits up
Marcus; you may come in
Marcus said while putting his mask back on

As the door opens it shows Pramanix
Pramanix;I'm sorry to disturb you my lor-
Pramanix was cut off by Marcus

Marcus;please Pramanix it's Marcus when we are alone
Marcus said as he looks towards her

Pramanix nods as she sits next to Marcus
Pramanix;my lo- Marcus are you alright with the devil faction now finding out our location
Pramanix said as she looks towards Marcus

Marcus sighs as he takes off his mask
Marcus;in All honesty my friend it has been very stressful indeed tomorrow we will have to strengthen the barrier As well as prepared for any scenario that they might throw at us
Marcus said as he lays back down

As Marcus lays back down on the bed Pramanix lays next to him as her tail lays on Marcus's chest

Pramanix; I know that you will come up with something you always have always think about others before yourself
Pramanix said as she looks towards him

And she does so she notices that Marcus has already fallen asleep and she wraps her arms around him and The rest of the night was quiet and peaceful and hopefully tomorrow will be the same but who knows

(The next day)

Today was normal for Marcus and his kingdom with the addition of more magic added into the barrier and with some soldiers ready for anything that might happen

Marcus was walking around the barrier with some guards by his side
Marcus;has the barrier been weakening?
Marcus asked as he walks

Guard1:no my lord  the barrier has been fine as well as the strength for it
The guard  said  as they walks

As they continue to walk and inspect the barrier and the land making sure nothing seems out of place but as they walk Marcus noticed magic symbol appearing outside of the barrier

Marcus;guards stand at the ready
Marcus said as he pulls out his hammer

As he says that a group of devils appeared from where the magic symbol was at...of course it was Rias and her group but with them this time was her brother Sirzechs and his wife Grayfia

Rias;Marcus lower the barrier
Rias ordered but Marcus just ignored her

Issei;hey loser Rias sa-
Issei was cut off by a sword landing in front of him

Guard2: you dare insult our lord!
The guard said as he summons back his sword

Sirzechs;please let's not fight we are here to talk
Sirzechs said as he looks towards Marcus

Marcus;if your here than that means you attempted to bet my kingdom in her rating game
Marcus said
